This catty of meat seems to be okay.

But the Zhou family is a big and prosperous family, with four households, plus two unmarried girls, there are more than 20 people in total.

If this catty of meat is divided into bowls for more than 20 people, there will not be much left.

Zhou Heishi can still get a share, which is already extremely good.

For example, Song Yuelan and Zhou Heishi's daughter, Zhou Xiaoqing, didn't even have broth.

The two were holding the rare rice porridge in the corner, drinking in silence.

Zhou Heishi thought that Song Yuelan was not in good health, so he secretly gave Song Yuelan the piece of meat in his bowl, Song Yuelan didn't even look at Zhou Heishi, and then gave Zhou Xiaoqing the meat in her bowl.

Zhou Xiaoqing was born black and thin, and he was wearing his aunt's old clothes that were a bit fat, and the clothes were so empty that another Zhou Xiaoqing could be stuffed into them.

She took a quick look at her parents, put the piece of meat into her mother's bowl again, and whispered that she was full, and the man grabbed her small back basket and ran away.

Song Yuelan stared blankly at the piece of meat in the bowl that was pinched back and forth, and after a while, tears fell into the bowl drop by drop.

……

Under the sun, Zhou Xiaoqing ran to the bushes in the field, squatted down for a while, and began to dig wild vegetables.

In fact, most children are not afraid of heat.When they were still in the village, they often played wildly under the sun in the scorching heat.

Zhou Xiaoqing dug wild vegetables here for a while, and then some energetic and mischievous children came over and intentionally knocked down the small basket that Zhou Xiaoqing put aside to hold the wild vegetables, and made up for it again, pouring out the wild vegetables from the basket, Kick all over the place.

These mischievous children were led by Cao Hongchang in the past, and they ran all over the village to tease chickens and dogs, and they were all very angry.

Zhou Xiaoqing bit his lower lip, not wanting to get entangled with them, silently straightened his back basket, and began to pick up those wild vegetables that had been kicked everywhere.

When she finished picking it up, those brats stepped forward and kicked the back basket laughingly.

Zhou Xiaoqing lowered her head forbearance, and after a while, she repeatedly picked up the basket and picked up the wild vegetables.

Seeing Zhou Xiaoqing like this, those brats got more and more energetic and wanted to go forward to kick again.

"What are you doing!"

Mei Qingyao strode over, stopped those mischievous ones, and glared at them angrily.

When Cao Hongchang was hanging out with them in the past, these mischievous brats were tied up with Cao Hongchang, and they were not Mei Qingyao's opponents, let alone their "boss" Cao Hongchang was not around now.

A few Xiong Haizi stuck out their tongues and ran away.

Mei Qingyao squatted down, helped Zhou Xiaoqing pick up wild vegetables, and said indignantly: "Those bastards even bully girls! ... Next time they bully you, just tell me, I'll beat them up for you!" He He clenched his fist and shook it.

Zhou Xiaoqing stared blankly at Mei Qingyao.

"Okay." Mei Qingyao helped Zhou Xiaoqing pick up the wild vegetables and got up.

Zhou Xiaoqing was a little confused, so he also stood up.

She didn't have enough to eat, and she kept squatting all the time. When she got up, her body wobbled and she almost fell down.

Mei Qingyao was startled, and quickly supported Zhou Xiaoqing.

He was still a child after all, so he didn't understand what happened to Zhou Xiaoqing at all.

Instinctively, Mei Qingyao chose to ask for help from the adults she trusted most in her subconscious mind.

He half-supported and half-dragged Zhou Xiaoqing, who was weak all over, and hurried towards Qiao Huaping.

——This means that the two children are still young, both are only eight years old, and no matter how idle and boring the villagers are, they will not know how to arrange the two children.

Qiao Huaping quickly noticed this side, let out a "huh" and hurried over.

She took Zhou Xiaoqing from Mei Qingyao's hand, felt her pulse briefly, and came to the conclusion that the child was not full, malnourished, and hungry.

Qiao Huaping remembered the situation of Song Yuelan and Zhou Xiaoqing in Zhou's house.

At that time Song Yuelan was in such a difficult situation, she helped her four cubs.

She is more grateful.

Mei Qingyao swallowed nervously: "...What's wrong with Zhou Xiaoqing? When I went just now, she was being bullied. Did those troublemakers make her angry?"

Qiao Huaping replied briefly, "I'm hungry."

Zhou Xiaoqing lowered his head in embarrassment.

Seeing Zhou Xiaoqing's black and thin appearance, Qiao Huaping was not very happy.

She opened the jar containing the brine and filled some brine; then she reached into the bag, and under the cover of the bag, she took a piece of cake that had been baked earlier.

Qiao Huaping handed these to Zhou Xiaoqing: "Eat something. The body is the capital of the journey, you don't expect to fall ill on the way, right?"

Zhou Xiaoqing looked at the woman in front of him who rescued his mother from the slope in the middle of the night, and his eyes were inexplicably moist.She lowered her head and wiped away her tears: "Thank you, Aunt Qiao."

She took the bowl of meat that she hadn't touched in a few years, and the fragrant and soft pancakes, and buried herself in eating.

Zhou Xiaoqing was obviously very hungry and devoured his food.

But halfway through eating, she stopped, looked at Qiao Huaping with some hesitation, hesitated for a while, and then asked in a low voice: "Aunt Qiao, I'm very full. Can I eat the rest of this bowl, Give it to my mother?"

Qiao Huaping nodded, deliberately using a brisk tone to relieve Zhou Xiaoqing's uneasiness: "Of course. But, here, Aunt Qiao, there are a lot of things here. You finish it first, and I'll give your mother another portion." !"

She conveniently picked a few large leaves from a nearby bush, washed them with water, and took some marinated pig liver, pig lungs, pig intestines, etc. from the jar, and wrapped them tightly with leaves Yes, I tied a beautiful knot with grass stems along the way.

Qiao Huaping picked up the knot made of grass stalks with her fingers, shook the beautifully wrapped leaf bag, and showed off to Zhou Xiaoqing: "Is my bag beautiful?"

Zhou Xiaoqing nodded very seriously: "It looks good."

Qiao Huaping raised the corners of her mouth: "Auntie likes a good and honest boy like you. Good boy, eat quickly. After you finish eating, you take this to your mother."

She blinked and lowered her voice, as if she was sharing a secret with Zhou Xiaoqing: "When you take it back, hide it well, so your grandma won't see it."

Zhou Xiaoqing had tears in his eyes, but he was smiling.

She nodded heavily: "Okay!"

After eating at Qiao Huaping's place, Zhou Xiaoqing thanked Qiao Huaping and Mei Qingyao earnestly, carried her small basket with wild vegetables on her back, and went to Zhou's house.

Fortunately, at this moment, most of the Zhou family were taking a nap, so Zhou Xiaoqing quietly called Song Yuelan out.

The mother and daughter found a secluded place where no one saw them to talk.

She secretly stuffed the beautiful leaf bag in her hand to Song Yuelan.

Song Yuelan felt the warm touch in her hand, and was stunned for a while: "Where did it come from?"

Zhou Xiaoqing whispered, "Aunt Qiao gave it to me."

Song Yuelan's eyes were a little sour.

She silently opened the beautiful leaf bag in her hand, revealing the extremely fragrant pork liver, lungs, and large intestines inside.

The aroma was overflowing, and Zhou Xiaoqing was so full that she couldn't help but take another sip of saliva.

She urged in a low voice: "Mom, eat quickly."
